Pēdējā laika labākais THR numurs - interesanta un stimulējoša saruna ar Diane von Furstenberg un izcila otrā daļa par Nella Larson romānu “Passing” un tēmām, par kurām neko nezināju, tāpēc bija ļoti saistoši un izglītojoši.

Finally a new edition of The Happy Reader after what felt like ages. The first part is an interview with Diane von Furstenberg (what a name!). I'm a bit ashamed to admit that I did not know her. She seems to be very famous and very rich, a fashion designer who invented the wrap dress. Have I worn a wrap dress before? Surely I have. Or something similar to a wrap dress. Anyway she seems to be a woman with a very strong presence, and she loves books. And she's dined with Arthur Miller. It's a good interview.
The second part is articles around Passing, which I purposely read before reading this section. I loved the articles. They are varied and interesting, and they really add to my reading of Passing. I googled around about the 'passing' phenomenon after I read the book, but what I found were not nearly as interesting as the articles here. They make you realise that a lot of people recognise the experience to try to 'pass' as 'something else'. Migrants, transgenders, or homosexuals can probably relate.
Fab edition!

Liked this literary magazine. The theme was passing and I enjoyed the varied ways of discussing it, ie race, language, sexuality.

What a delightful, thought provoking issue.
